A 15-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by her landlord in south Delhi’s Pul Prahladpur, police said on Wednesday. The accused is absconding.
Landlord Ravinder on the pretext of giving the victim, who lives with her parents at Vishkarma colony in Pul Prahladpur, a lift to a nearby market forcibly drove her to Faridabad on Sunday.
Ravinder also has a house in Faridabad and runs a small brick crusher’s unit. He confined her at his house and raped her all night.
On Monday, he threatened her of dire consequences and drove her back home. But she narrated the ordeal to her mother, who works as a maid.
When the victim’s father returned home after work, he took his daughter to police and registered a complaint.
A medical examination confirmed sexual assault. A case was then registered and a hunt is on to nab Ravinder who is absconding.
Police have roped in a non-government organisation to counsel the victim.
“We are conducting raids are all Ravinder’s possible hideouts and have also sent teams to various places in the city as well as Haryana to trace him,” said a police officer.
